Friday Finds! New book-bargains and five-star reader recommendations!

By 87 Comments

Happy Friday my friends!! The latest Friday Finds list is ready to keep you entertained all weekend long (and I’ll add more as I find ’em).

Right now, I’m finishing Imposter: A Gripping Thriller by K. Larsen that’s going live in just a few days. She was kidnapped, but is back now, years later. It’s sort of a psych-thriller, but for now a total mystery with a hint of something ominous lurking. I dunno yet, but knowing this author, I have a feeling I will have the rug pulled out from under me, and I can’t WAIT for that reveal. Whatever it may be… 😉

And while I’m at it, the next one up for me is An Exaltation of Larks by Suanne Laqueur <— ABSOLUTELY STARTING THIS ASAP!!! I LOVE this author too (remember how much I loved “The Fish Tales” series?), and this book (a standalone) is coming out in just a few days. I’m hearing this is her best one yet!!! YAY ME!!!! Seriously. I can’t contain how excited I am to start it!!! I’ll keep you updated… 😉

Jean: MARYSE! YOU WILL LOVE IT! LOVE IT! DON’T SQUIRREL! I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO READ IT! (Yes, I’m screaming)! …..SIMPLY AMAZING!

OKAY ALSO!!!! ➔ NOW THIS is a Friday Find indeed! AMAZON PRIME MEMBERSHIPS are on sale today only! I have a membership and I use it DAILY. Whether it be to listen to Prime music, or watch movies or shows, or the free 2-day shipping, or now the “Prime Kindle First” books that I LOVE (every month, we get to choose one from 6 new books not yet released, to download and keep and read early)!! I tend to always choose a psych-thriller out of these monthly lists, and I’ve had great luck!!!

Now… take a look at what we found! (NOTE: some are bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order. Sales listed are for Amazon U.S., however some of the Amazon UK links also reflect the sale!):

  • Hold My Breath by Ginger Scott <— LIVE!! GINGER SCOTT’S LATEST IS LIVE!!! Two brothers (Olympic swimmers?) and the girl that loves them. One brother always letting his other brother (her man) shine but… “…My life with Evan burned bright. He gave me arms to come home to, and a smile that fooled the world into believing everything was perfect. But it was Will who pushed me. Will…who really knew me. And when all of the pieces fell, it was Will who started to pick them up.” This one sounds SO GOOD!!!! And I LOVED another one of this author’s other books (Bully book and SO well told). Here’s my review of Wild Reckless.
  • Wild Reckless (Harper Boys Book 1) by Ginger Scott <— BULLY BOOK THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This one is a standalone and just AWESOME. Must be read, and since Ginger Scott is kicking off the list today, I couldn’t help but post this one, too! :D!!!
  • Dollars (Dollar Book 2) by Pepper Winters <— LIVE!! PEPPER WINTERS DARK READ ALERT!! “Pimlico was stolen and sold all before her twenty-first birthday. Two years with a diabolical monster is over. She has a new master now…” (P.S. Book #1 – Pennies (Dollar Book 1) – is super-bargain priced right now!!)
  • To Have and to Hold: (Intermix) (A Wyckerley Triology Book 2) by Patricia Gaffney <— CUTTING EDGE DARK HISTORICAL ROMANCE ALERT!! Recommended by one of my favorite authors (in case you missed this awesome post, Skye Warren recommends her favorites here) and it’s got a great price. And after these comments about this book, I HAVE TO READ IT. I’m craving to find out what the deal is!! She says:

Skye: The absolute best dark romance. Ever. Written. Yes, I just said that!! And it’s a historical romance that was traditionally published, but damn. Completely cutting edge with brilliant writing and a breathtaking interplay. It captivated me from the first moment the heroine stepped onto the page—I simultaneously hated the hero and knew he was the only one worthy of her.

Jan: Thank you for sharing your favs, Skye. The Patricia Gaffney is catching my eye. I love a good HR. I had a look at some reviews of it on Good Reads, and one person labelled it a ‘marmite’ book – you either love it or hate it. I’m officially intrigued and I’m going to see whether I can hunt down a copy.

Skye: To Have and To Hold is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it book! I was just jaw-dropping in awe of it the whole time I was reading. I’m not sure I could re-read it, though? Maybe someday. It’s intense!

Jeannie: one I love is To Have and to Hold by Patricia Gaffney. Not politically correct, one of the reasons I love it. …An historical, but so many heartbreaking scenes. It’s not prettied up for light reading.

  • Absolute Doubt (Fallen Agents of T-FLAC Book 1) by Cherry Adair <— LIVE!!! HE’S UNDERCOVER & SHE’S LOOKING FOR HER BROTHER... “…When millions of dollars are inexplicably wired to her account she knows he’s trouble. Traveling to the small mining town… she accepts the hospitality of her brother’s employer and searches for clues as to Oliver whereabouts. If only she wasn’t overcome with inappropriate lust for one of the other houseguests- a gorgeous bishop with a warrior’s body and laser-sharp eyes that hint at deep, dark secrets…”
  • Managed (VIP Book 2) by Kristen Callahan <— TOUTED AS HER BEST ONE YET!! Back on the list ’cause Alabama-Amy LOVED it!

Alabama-Amy: Ok y’all…. Managed was FANTASTIC! In my opinion it is by far Kristen Callihan’s best book. I almost didn’t buy it because I liked Idol but wouldn’t say I loved it because I struggled with the heroine. In Managed both main characters are wonderful. So different but they WORK SO WELL together. There’s tons of LOL moments and “did she really just say that moments?”

Sophie is so hilarious and genuine. I was expecting Gabriel to be unlikeable since he seemed so cold and aloof in Idol. Not at all. I loved him so much. He’s very stoic and steady but he’s got depth that’s very obvious from the start. And once he lets loose, he really lets loose, committed 100%.

There was just enough angst to keep the story from being flat and give some emotional depth without feeling “produced for effect” angst which is game over for me. I’m racking my brain but I can’t come up with a book I smiled more while reading this year. This might be my favorite so far in 2016!”

  • Lucifer (Vampires in America: The Vampire Wars Book 11) by D. B. Reynolds <— LIVE!!! OR SHOULD I SAY… UNDEAD!! *snort* A VAMPIRE IN MONTREAL ALERT!! Hey I come from there!! I love my beautiful city. We have vampires in Montreal??!!! eek *gasp*
  • Triple Trouble (Found in Oblivion Book 2) by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott <— LIVE!! STEAMY TRIO ALERT!!
  • The Presence of Grace (Love and Loss Book 2) by Anie Michaels <— LIVE!! WIDOWED AND A SINGLE FATHER & THEN HE MEETS HER… “He’d fought before; fought for his family, for his love, and for his life. But her fight, although buried deep and festering within, was a fight he wasn’t sure he had the strength to overcome.” This CAN BE READ as a standalone, but it’s book #2 after this one, The Absence of Olivia (Love and Loss Book 1). P.S. The first book is bargain priced right now! 😀
  • Twined Bond (Holly Woods Files, #7) by Emma Hart <— LIVE!!! This one cannot be read as a standalone…
  • Tristan’s Temptation (Wired Series Book 2) by Sabrina York <— LIVE!!! OFFICE ROMANCE ALERT!!! She’s his executive assistant, and she realizes he fantasizes about her… “…When Shannon discovers the depth of Tristan’s desire, she vows to seduce him in real life, his rule be damned. After a blazing, illicit tryst in Tristan’s office, he insists they can never do it again. So Shannon, ever the obedient assistant, makes certain the next time she seduces him, they do something completely different…“
  • Things Liars Say: a Novella (#ThreeLittleLies Book 1) by Sara Ney <— SARA NEY ALERT!!! SHE LIES ABOUT DATING A RUGBY PLAYER and he shows up at her door to confront her…  P.S. He thinks she’s a GUY, at first. Tee hee!!!! Remember how I went crazy for her book “How to Date a Douchebag” a few days ago? Well, it looks like she has a few other series, and THIS is one of ’em. All three books are super-bargain priced right now, and each one can be read as a standalone. *squee*! This one sounds like SO. MUCH. FUN. “Greyson Keller didn’t intend to lie; it just came out that way. So when the object of that lie shows up on her doorstep, she is confused, shocked, and embarrassed…“
  • Things Liars Hide: a Novella (#ThreeLittleLies Book 2) by Sara Ney <— SARA NEY ALERT!!! Super-bargain priced right now, and each one can be read as a standalone.
  • Things Liars Fake: a Novella (a #ThreeLittleLies novella Book 3) by Sara Ney <— SARA NEY ALERT!!! Super-bargain priced right now, and each one can be read as a standalone.
  • The Delphi Effect (The Delphi Trilogy Book 1) by Rysa Walker  <— YA SCI-FI ALERT!! Tasha HIGHLY recommends this one!

Ok, I’m reporting back now that I’ve read The Delphi Effect by Rysa Walker. So Amazon Kindle says it’s *.** but the author said on her fb page the next couple days it’s on sale for *.** if you put the code DELPHIEFFECT in at checkout. And I loved it!!

So I was a little wrong going in thinking it was paranormal, it’s YA but more science fiction fantasy. And SOO good you guys. It was a little reminicient of like The Darkest Minds and a few others that I can’t put my finger on, maybe a little Mara Dyer since I’ve read that more recently, but definitely is its own book. It is the start of a series but doesn’t end in a huge cliffy though I already want book 2.

I really liked her writing, she took the time to make you really invested in all of the characters, there’s a lot of adventure, with just a hint of a beginning romance. Grab this book!!

  • The Awakened (The Awakened Duology Book 1) by Sara Elizabeth Santana <— YA POST APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE STORY!! And this one is bargain priced today… “…the victims disappear and suddenly reappear, awakened from their dead state. They’re faster, smarter, and they work together to get the one thing they crave, human flesh. The United States is in a panic and then the government decides the unthinkable: to bomb every major city overrun with the awakened…“
  • See Through Heart by Amie Knight <— SOUNDS HEARTWRENCHING ALERT!!! “She was my comfort when life threw one ugly tragedy after another at me. Until she dealt me the greatest blow. Now, abandonment, betrayal, and death darken every corner of my life.” <— *oooomph*!!! That blurb HAS me, and Miranda found it for us!
Miranda: See Through Heart by Amie Knight came out 2 weeks ago and it is so amazing. A touching second chance romance.
  • AUDIOBOOK L:DVERS ➜ For those going on a road trip soon, or maybe you’ve got some projects that require both hands this weekend but still allows you to “listen”… check out the free audible trial + 2 free audiobooks deal —>

  • AND! Here’s the fun-tool again! —> Find out which of YOUR Kindle ebooks are available as audiobooks at a BARGAIN-PRICE! <— This thing is so cool (Amazon calls it “Matchmaker“)! It’s an Amazon feature, that scans your Kindle books and will list all of the ones you have that are also available as an audiobook at a discounted price (not normal audiobook prices). This way, you can switch back and forth, seamlessly between your ebooks and your audiobooks. :D !!! VERY COOL!

Author & Book News Roundup – November 17th 2016

By 3 Comments

This is a perfect day for a news roundup! Some awesome cover reveals, exciting announcements, even a movie trailer… (and of course a few new releases that just went live, and an awesome sale too!).

Let me know if you’ve come across some awesome book or author news that I might have missed. 😀

Fire HD 6 Tablet, 6″ HD Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB – Includes Special Offers, Black <— SUPER-SALE PLUS A COUPON CODE!!! This one’s on sale, and this coupon code ➔ FIREHD6 <— ($20 off) makes it even CHEAPER than the current sale price. YES. :D!!!

Renee Carlino was featured in THIS newspaper!! A full-on spread just about her (and a lot of focus on her awesome book, Swear on This Life, and her awesomeness!!! If you have really good eyes, you can actually read it!! 😀

Stephenie Meyer AND Rainbow Rowell <— OMG!!!!!!! Both of these authors (that so many of us LOVE!!!!) will be signing together TOMORROW!!!!!!!! In fact, Rainbow will be interviewing Stephenie and the signing will start right after!!! Check out the details here. Rainbow says:

“At this event, I’ll be interviewing Stephenie, then we’ll both be signing.”

Audrey Carlan just revealed TWO covers at the same time! Life (A Trinity Novel Book 4) and Fate (A Trinity Novel Book 5) GOR.GEOUS. The author says:

“The beloved Trinity Trilogy continues in these two soul sister spinoff tales. You wanted to know what happened to Maria and Kathleen and now you’re going to get it!”

Courtney Cole tells us about her “work in progress” and this character is VERY personal to her. Inspired by her own real-life events (as she spoke of, on her own website, here), and If You Stay (The Beautifully Broken Book 1) is MUCH-loved by so many in our reading crew, and will have a sequel. She says:

“I’m working on MY PEACE, the continuation of Pax Tate’s story from If You Stay… and I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to be in his head again.

I’ve missed him. I hope you have too.”

and she also said:

“You guys, I’ve decided that my new Pax Tate book, MY PEACE, can’t be condensed into a hotshot novella. It will be a full-length novel. Therefore, I have to push the release date back until December 30th. His story deserves more time, more attention. Because it’s Pax. And because happy endings sometimes have to be worked for.”

VI Keeland ALSO reveals the cover of her upcoming book Ego Maniac!! *ahem*… eek HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The intruder she was fending off ended up being the rightful owner of the office she “though” she was leasing… (LOL! I think he’s a divorce attorney and she’s a marriage counsellor). I’m LOVING the sound of this!

“…Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place. I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind…

…The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages. The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.”

Rachel Blaufeld ALSO reveals the cover of her upcoming novel, “Break Point” (no preorder yet for this one), but the synopsis is on this gorgeous cover.

Kit Rocha‘s latest is UP FOR PREORDER ALERT! Beyond Surrender (Beyond, Book #9) <— The final book in the series!!! Here’s the series reading order And my review of book #1.

Sarah J Maas <— PREORDER ALERT!!! A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses) is also up for preorder!!!! And here’s the reading order.

Amber Garza has announced that she’s signed with a publisher for her upcoming YA novel!!

#SBRMedia is happy to announce Amber Garza, author has signed with Entangled Publishing, LLC! Her YA Novel – I’m Not in the Band – has an expected publication date of Summer 2017.

Beauty and the Beast <— I remember reading this when I was little and LOVING it. Ahhhh the romance and the need to save that broken hero/anti-hero. Might be the reason for my love of “dark romances” come to think of it. 😉  *snort* BUT!!! Here’s the new MOVIE TRAILER (and here’s a comparison to the original movie). 😀

Trudy Stiles revealed her “re-covers” of her popular angsty adoption series (Forever Family) and OMG THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!! Although the originals were beautiful too. The author says:

“…this series has been re-imagined, and it couldn’t be more perfect.

New Look
Same Stories
Always Forever”

K. Webster <— One of our “Queens of Dark Reads” has a new book coming out (Whisper and the Roars), and the blurb gave me goosebumps! YIKES! Here it is, gorgeous creepy cover, blurb AND ALL. 😉

The darkness should frighten me.
I should worry I’ll find more monsters…monsters scarier than him.
But I’m not afraid.

It’s safe here.
When I’m inside of my head…

JUST WENT LIVE!

Resuscitate Me by Leddy Harper <— UNREQUITED LOVE ALERT!!! “…It’s hard to walk away, To leave the one man, Who resuscitates me. But I did. He didn’t reciprocate my feelings. He didn’t love me. Not now. Not ever.” Nancy found us this one saying:

“Resuscitate Me by Leddy Harper is so good. I was lucky enough to read an advance copy. It is released 11/19/16. I have become a big fan of Leddy Harper ever since reading Eminent Love and have since read 5 of her books. Resuscitate Me will be kindleunlimited, too!”

Since I Fell For You (New York Sullivans #2) (The Sullivans Book 16) by Bella Andre <— BELLA ANDRE ALERT and this one is already in the top 100 on all of Amazon Kindle!!!

RISK by Deborah Bladon <— SHE FALLS IN HIS LAP IN VEGAS ALERT!! Full length and a standalone, and #26 in all of Amazon right now! “…When I fall into his lap in Las Vegas, our connection is instant. … The pull is strong enough to erase the doubt and to drown out all the questions. Until the secrets we’ve buried in our pasts collide in a way no one could have predicted.”

          

Reader Question – The book about the heroine that breaks up with him to spare him HER violent anger issues…

By 5 Comments

Biker book question and this sounds like a good one! When a reader wants to read a book twice, you KNOW it’s affecting.

Débora asks:

Hello Maryse,

… I have this book I’m dying to read again!

The h had anger issues and was kinda violent. She breaks up with H (to spare him) in their youth and leaves town. She comes back, a few years later, and discovers he’s in a MC. Also, there’s a super awkward family reunion hosted by his mom.

Can you help me out? I recall this is one of those epic love/angst books.

Do you know this one?  Thanks!

Anyone?

Ignite by R.J. Lewis <— Melissa believes it’s this one!

Lauren:  Ignite by R.J. Lewis….definitely, without a doubt. …It’s a two book series.

Behind the Books – Author Skye Warren shares her favorite books with us!

By 10 Comments

Skye Warren (one of our QUEENS of “Dark Love Stories”) has JUST released a book yesterday! To the Ends of the Earth: A Stripped Standalone has that dark edge to it (it sounds awesome!!). I’ve been a HUGE fan of hers for years now, because she takes me there. Her stories both hooking me, and taking me out of my comfort zone all at the same time, and they stay with me long after I’ve reached “the end”.

I’ve always wondered what HER favorite books were. Those that she absolutely loved (dark and otherwise). After all, she’s a reader, too, and she’s commented many times right here, recommending, or just joining in on our enthusiasm and love for a specific book. AND GUESS WHAT??!! She’s here right now!!!

And she’s going to share a few of her favorites with us today!

Welcome Skye!!! :D!!!

“Thank you so much to Maryse for having me!

I love seeing her new book reviews, so it’s a special honor to get to share my favorite books with everyone here. In particular I love and adore books that are subversive, lyrical, and occasionally dark, so if you do too you might find something amazing in this list…”

1. SUGAR DADDY by Lisa Kleypas

I know that BLUE EYED DEVIL is the fan favorite of the contemporary Travis family books, and really I’m usually a sucker for a rough-around-the-edges hero and a heroine healing from a traumatic past. But even with all that, I’m hung up on Gage Travis and Liberty Jones.

Sugar Daddy is a brilliant book, one that almost grows more layered every time I read it.

Which is… a lot. Many times. I can’t get enough of this deep character study of flawed people, good people, struggling people. It’s a study in love, both familial and unrequited.

Also, this one isn’t really dark, just incredibly compelling, but they get darker…

2. WAKING KISS by Annabel Joseph

Speaking of heroines healing from a traumatic past, I absolutely adore Ashleigh Keaton in this book. She’s both incredibly vulnerable and made of steel, an ordinary girl with extraordinary fortitude. The characters spring to life, including the enigmatic hero Liam and his temperamental friend Rubio.

This is a story of sexy BDSM, of orientation and introduction—but it’s also a life or death story, because both the hero and heroine are living a half-life. The fight they face is whether to trust, whether that’s even possible with the horrors of the past.

Honorable mention goes to Comfort Object and Loaned, both also by Annabel Joseph, for sexy stories that have stuck with me. I’m basically an Annabel Joseph fangirl 😉

3. ONE LAST SONG by S.K. Falls

Okay, here’s where I make my confession. I’m a sucker for a complicated heroine. I really fall in love with them first, and then require the hero to be worthy of them. I like them deep and even dark and sometimes dangerous. So that’s why Saylor from One Last Song stopped me in my tracks.

When the first line of a book is “I ate my first needle when I was seven,” you know you have something different. Saylor has Munchausen syndrome, a real psychiatric illness where she’s compelled to fake illness. Her psychiatrist suggests that she volunteer at the hospital, which leads to her secretly joining a support group for youth with terminal illness.

From there it’s heartbreaking, gritty, emotional, a nuanced look at both psychological and physical illness and the disaster they wreak. It’s the kind of book you can’t forget.

If you love books that are heartbreaking but also hopeful, that aren’t necessarily a romance, be sure to check out this one, and also We are Called to Rise by Laura McBride.

4. DARK NOTES by Pam Godwin

I’ve been a fan and friend of author Pam Godwin for a while now, but Dark Notes completely shook my world. So dark and so sexy and so utterly romantic – it’s the student teacher book of my dreams!

5. ALL THE UGLY AND WONDERFUL THINGS by Bryn Greenwood

This is one of my more recent *favorite* reads, and I’m pretty sure I first heard about it from Maryse’s Facebook post. As soon as I read the words “Midwestern meth lab” I was in, but it turned out completely different than I expected in the best way.

Stunning writing. Captivating characters. A spellbinding taboo relationship.

I told my friend Shari that this wasn’t a book I read but one that I experienced.

By the way, if you’re looking for other more literary works with a romance bent, check out The Night Circus.

5. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD by Patricia Gaffney

The absolute best dark romance. Ever. Written.

Yes, I just said that!! And it’s a historical romance that was traditionally published, but damn. Completely cutting edge with brilliant writing and a breathtaking interplay. It captivated me from the first moment the heroine stepped onto the page—I simultaneously hated the hero and knew he was the only one worthy of her.

By the way, if you’re interested in historical romance with a dark bent, I also recommend Seduction by Madeline Hunter, The Secret Pearl by Mary Balogh, The Mysterious Miss M by Diane Gaston, and Cleopatra’s Daughter by Michelle Moran.

Thank you so much for having me!!

Oh, and if you’ve finished reading all of those, be sure to check out Professed by Nicola Rendell, Everything I Left Unsaid: A Novel by M. O’Keefe, and Capture Me by Anna Zaires.

Okay, I’m really done now!! As you can see I really super love books!! It’s a sickness, and I don’t ever want a cure. Have you read any of these? Did I mention any on your favorites shelf? Are you one-clicking any of them? Do you have a book recommendation for me based on the types of books I adore?

And I hope you’ll join me for THE PAWN, which comes out on December 6th!

“Smart, dark, deeply sensual read with characters I fell in love with from the minute they walked onto the page!” – New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips

The price of survival…

Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.

There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.

My virginity.

A forbidden auction…

Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.

Except he’s playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

  • Managed (VIP Book 2) by Kristen Callahan <— ROCK STAR (& entourage) FUN!!! Just released yesterday and Julie o loved it!
Just finished Managed and absolutely loved it! Did not read the first book, really don’t need to, it’s a standalone. But am going to read Idol now. Funny h, totally no filter. It’s definitely a keeper for my shelf.

Amy: GAH!!! I finished it yesterday, and I have been thinking of it non-stop since then. The writing was pretty tough for me to get used to, and I didn’t know if I would ever adjust enough to it to fully become involved in the character’s lives. But Jan said it was the kind of book that sneaks up on you, and you know what? She was right. She was SO right because I found myself wondering what was going on with the characters whenever I wasn’t reading it, and picking it up again was like catching up with old friends and the happenings in their day-to-day lives. The story was just moving along, almost slowly at some points, and I was beginning to wonder if there was ever going to be any real drama when suddenly…BA-BAM!!! It cracked my heart wide open. And there was no shying away from what the characters were experiencing after that. It was raw and brutal and REAL, and I had no choice but to go through it all with them, painful as it was. There was definitely hope by the end, but I’m going to be bruised from this one for a while. *sigh* Loved it.

Jan: Yup Amy. That’s how I felt after reading The Turning Point. Bruised. I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters for days either. Freya North’s writing style is a bit different from what we’re used to, but I think she’s brilliant, because her characters are like people I actually know and care about. Don’t know how she does that! And the characters are pretty much what makes or breaks a book for me. If the characters are ‘meh’, it usually ends up a dnf for me. But Frankie and Scott? Their lives matter to me, crazy as that sounds. (I know, look out for the crazy book lady. Something like a crazy cat lady?) But what a beautiful book. Just wow.

MichelleS: …total old BDB feel for Blood Kiss. Seems like more Butch & Marissa than Psaradise & Craeg though. Lassiter was a bit over the top. I’m almost done, but for BDB fans, it’s a must read!

  1. Too Late by C. Hoover <— COLLEEN HOOVER’S LATEST BOOK PSYCH THRILLER ALERT!!! WARNING!!! This one is MATURE, and DARK, and not at all her “usual” style… in fact, she’s published it under the pen name

Stephanie: This story was amazing!!!

Jessie: I’m sure I’ve read her stuff before but why very mature? Sexy? (Putting it nicely)

Maryse: Colleen posted this: “*Too Late is a book that is very mature. It is not for young teens and has explicit content. If cursing bothers you, please avoid this book. If murder bothers you, please avoid this book. If pretty much anything involving drugs, rape, sex or violence bothers you, please avoid this book. I do not want anyone reading it who will later hate me for writing it, so I’m telling you now. This book is ridiculously inappropriate for most humans.”

Jessie: ok. Right up my alley. Lol. Sounds weird but I was one of few who thought twilight was good but lacking. 50 shades was good but too much innuendo. Lol. Coming from a black dagger standpoint. Lol. Don’t hold back! Let us have it. I know I can take it. Lol. Ok sorry. Rant. Over. Thanks Maryse.

Maryse: My pleasure Jessie and it sounds RIGHT UP MY ALLEY too. 😛 😉

  24. Beautifully Broken by Laura Lee <— TABOO RELATIONSHIP ALERT!!! STUDENT-TEACHER… And LISA LOVED IT!!!

Lisa: It’s a definite 4 star read for me. It was a very well written story. The plotline itself was a bit formulaic – done one thousand times over, but it was still well done with characters that you wanted to know more about. Damaged girl (with a secret and a lot of angst over it in her past) meets the most beautiful man on earth. Insta-attraction and “the best sex ever” happens. They grow closer, but then the plot twist. A taboo relationship that sets up a plot to keep them apart…but they persevere and overcome, until the pivotal moment where the great “misunderstanding and miscommunication” happens, and our heart breaks in little pieces and we hold our breath and hope for their happily ever after.

However, the characters themselves are what kept me reading and invested in this couple. Both the characters were witty and charming. I laughed, I smiled, I shed a couple tears.

“What does matter is that he’s a grump.Kind of an a$$hole, too. And gets under Ronnie’s skin like no one else. But the more time Ronnie spends on the island of Kauai, falling in love with the lush land and its carefree lifestyle, the closer she gets to Logan. And the closer she gets to Logan, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong. Maybe it’s the hot, steamy jungles or the invigorating ocean air, but soon their relationship becomes utterly intoxicating.

There’s just one major catch.

The two of them together would incite a scandal neither Ronnie, nor her family, would ever recover from. Forbidden, Illicit, Off-limits – sometimes the heat is worth surrendering to, even if you get burned…”
